Love These Zensah Socks!
My doctor recently suggested I start wearing compression socks help keep my legs from swelling. All I could think of was those awful things all the old folks wear -- until I saw these -- compression socks with flair! I am a male, 5'9'' with size 11-4E feet, and a relatively long lower leg for my height. I purchased the blue/green socks in Large, and, if I'm careful to stretch them well when I put them on, they fall about an inch below the tibial tuberosity -- the bony prominence at the top of the shin, just below the knee -- and comfortably above the widest part of the calf, even after washing according to instructions. They stay put. I have used them for extended day hikes, and have not had to readjust them.
The socks seem well-made. Even though I pull and tug to put them on they do not seem to have weakened, even after several washings. They are wonderfully soft and comfortable, and seem to provide just the right support. My legs feel revitalized. Thank you, TravelSmith, for offering them at such a reasonable price!

Pink Socks
These socks are good compression socks with the added bonus of color and argyle. I ordered my size according the chart but needed the next larger size to comfortably fit my foot. The leg compression was fine.

comfortable, nice looking
Bought these for an upcoming flight. Have worn them a few times to try them out. Nice fit around the calves. Just a tad long up by the knee so I don't pull them up so tight & that works. They stay put, don't bunch up, don't compress unequally. They feel good and do what they're supposed to do. I like the argyle look. Actually got on to buy another pair & saw mixed reviews so wanted to add mine. Will get a pr. for hubby too as he likes argyles too. I machine wash & air dried them without a problem.

The quality(of the socks) was great but they did not fit me. I have large calves and they were very tight. I am also tall (5"11") and they did not go to my knees.

high quality compression socks
I chose these socks because they do not have wool in the blend. Wore them on a 7+ hour flight and arrived with no ankle or foot swelling. My concerns about itchiness were unwarranted; the socks are comfortable and not too hot on an airplane. The only downside is that for a hour or so after I took them off, I had the diamond argyle pattern pressed into my skin, which makes for an 'interesting' look with shorts and sandals.

travel with ease
These feel comfortably snug, and the white with pink and black argyle is cute. I plan to wear them for a long distance flight to keep my legs and feet from swelling. They feel more comfortable than a lot of compression socks because they really do what they say in terms of compression and hugging the foot, and yet they aren't too tight, and I have large calves.
The only thing is I haven't washed them yet. I shan't put them in a dryer, and I hope they don't shrink, like a lot of socks do.
They are so comfortable I would wear them even at home,
because of the way they are knitted around the foot.

Great Socks for Flying
I wore these on a nine hour flight from Italy and had no problem with my feet swelling during that flight or the rest of the long travel day. I would recommend these to anyone who has problems with feet swelling during flights. These socks put an end to that and you will arrive at your destination in comfort (worked for me).

Best buy - definitely getting more.
Felt good circulation, no swelling of ankles during flight across Nation! I have large feet, so I order next size up for better foot fit. I fold top over smoothing any wrinkles as little long, feels great on leg. Liked this design and fit so much, bought two more. They are all I use now for car or plane, any travel! I am allergic to rubber latex, these are latex free -- best buy ever.
